Is there an easy way to change credentials for vcenters in credential store

[danilansible]

Hi ,

Is there an easy way to change credentials for vcenters in credential store other than "deleting and readding vcenter"
As part of security policy, password changes every 2 months so it would be great to know if there is a way to update new password in credential store

Hi, i can give you the commands to automate the remove/add item in the credential store, would that suits you? We dont have api (yet) for this i'm sorry.

Hi @rschitz

Can you share the commands if you get a chance.

You're welcome, it's going to be powershell in the future but i'll update this issue when it's done.
